Dani Carvajal has been a doubt for the game but could be available having observed a rest period, while Federico Valverde remains optimistic about playing a part despite being forced off with an injury in the mid-week victory over Atletico.
Thibaut Courtois, of course is a long-term absentee, as are Eder Militao, David Alaba and Lucas Vazquez. Having sparkled since joining from Borussia Dortmund last summer, Jude Bellingham remains the key player for Real and they will be hopeful the England international can trouble the scoresheet.
